Nova Scotia ( and most other provinces) place the age for getting a learner's permit at 16. Years ago, you could operate farm tractor on the highway at age 14 in this province, although I don't know if that is still the case. Like so many farm kids, by the time I took drivers education, I could back up just about anything, but had never operated a vehicle with power steering. I was all over the road for the first few miles!
Kid is looking good, unclebilly.
